Why does the black iPhone 5 not have a front mic?

I noticed that the white iPhone 5 has a front mic while the black does not. How come?

What you're NOT seeing on the black model is the proximity sensor which is to the left of the earpiece/speaker if the phone is viewed from the front. This is visible on the white model but not the black model.
The mic is apparently contained within the earpiece/speaker hole. See the following .pdf file (you need Acrobat Reader installed to view) and zoom in to the front view.

  • Why does the iPad Mini not have music play count?

    I bought an iPad Mini and also have a macbook. I had listened to various music on my iPad Mini the other day, however when I connected the iPad Mini to the Macbook and iTunes via the lightning connector to sync, it synced the ratings I gave the songs I listened to on the mini, but no play count, as if I had not listened to anything. I hope there is something I can do about this as I often look at my play count!!

    It should work work but these kind of bugs pop up between updates, both hardware and software. Try closing all apps in the recently used list on the iPad. Double tap the Home button, tap and hold one of the icons at the bottom till they wiggle then tap the to close them. Tap the Home button to get back to the Home screen then hold the sleep button till you see the slide to power off message. Once it has powered down completely hold the Sleep button till the Apple icon appears.

    Does it even really matter...?
    Many people including myself rely on playcounts to control smart playlist to manage large libraries. Smart playlists can be created to show your most or least played tracks and used more or less as your favorites or other uses. Along with playcounts the date is transferred so to keep a fresh list of music on my smaller iPods a smart playlist set to songs not played in the last month keeps some fresh tunes on it.
    Playcounts are also used to manage Podcasts in iTunes to delete older episode. Bookmarks, which can also be effected by this, can mess up audiobooks, movies and podcast playback between different devices. So yes, it does matter.

  • Why does the new version not have back-up disc in the library file? And how do I fix it?

    Why does the new version of i-tunes not have back-up to disc in the library file? And how do I fix it?

    Fast backup for iTunes library  (Windows)
    Grab SyncToy  2.1, a free tool from MS. This can be used to copy your entire iTunes library (& other important data folders) onto another hard drive or network share. You can then use SyncToy periodically to synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the new or updated files will be copied saving lots of time.
    If your media is all organised below the main iTunes folder then you should also be able to open the backup library on any system running the same version of iTunes, regardless of the drive letter or path it appears on.
    Step-by-step guide to using SyncToy.

  • Why does the Apple TV not have Volume Control?

    I mean. I get it. I searched the forums.
    But, WHY?!!!
    It's so stupidly frustrating. I use my new apple tv with my older stereo as sound, no remote for that. Movies and TV Shows wildly vary their volumes and it's always handy to turn the volume up and down at a moment's notice.
    Soundcheck doesn't remedy this problem.
    It's such an incredibly stupid oversight it's windows-esque.
    Are there any workarounds (I'm referring to using the Apple TV to watch HBO, Netflix etc.)?
    Thanks. Vent if you need. Whatever.

    James, it IS needed. I need it.
    I mean the point is taken, but it is absolutely silly to not give users the control over something as substantial as volume.
    When you watch a video on youtube, on your laptop or whatever, there is a volume slider. What a concept! So that your source can stay where it's at and you can make changes in the audio level of whatever you happen to be watching, be it netflix (oh look, another volume slider!) or youtube or whatever.
    I guess, just to be clear, that is how I would implement it, and that is what I was surprised was gone.
    Another Apple product that connects to varying audio inputs is Airport Express. When you want to turn a particular track up or down, you have the option to use the volume buttons on your phone. I mean... I can't be the only person who sees this feature being missing as so absurd. It's so obvious... to me

  • Why does the Japanese version not have Furigana?

    Apple sells all over the world so anyone can buy a Mac and set it up in any langauge and write any language thats how it should be because the Computer is international.
    I am English I live in Japan I set  up my OSX install Finnish I write in Arabic too however writing Japanese to a none Japanese I need to have Kanji reading
    called  Fu  ri   ga    na  or   ru  　bi   =small red    hi   ra   ga   na     placed  above      kan  ji　かん　じ　so children can read and those who wish to know the
              振  り   仮　名        ル　 ビ                       　平    仮　名　　　　                  漢　字   漢　　字
    reading of very hard to read kanji.
    Word for Mac has it, we first write  かんじ presss space a drop down Kanji list show the kanji that are read kanji most common come first then choose press enter then when we have written a sentence we highlight and go to rubi in tools and it automatically places the reading  above the kanji.
    I could write like above but that takes space and time using retrieve fixed yomi the rubi are quite small and they do not differ between the ON   YO　MI  Sino reading and KU N YO　MI
                                                                                                                                                                          音　　読　み　                        訓　 　読　み
    Japanese reading of Chinese kanji Kanji came to Japan  so ON is Chinese OTO is Japanese they mean reading or sound pronuciation depending on the context
                                                                                             音                    音
    to read Chinese KANJI IN CHINA they use PIN 拼 YIN音 a Romanized reading

    It's not very clear what your question is. 
    If you have a problem with the way that Word for Mac does Furigana, then you need to go the MS forums and support services:

    If you want Apple to change the way a particular part of the Kotoeri IM works, then you should provide details via the channel they have set up for such info:

  • Why is the black iPhone 4/4S more durable than the white?

    I've owned both a black and a white 4S
    The black was much more durable, mine flew out my hand and hit the tap, no damage just a big scratch to the back glass because thats where it hit, but it did make the back loose
    I had a white, and it smashed the back like 2 inches off concrete, I'm serious.. That's how fragile they are...
    I Now have A Galaxy S4
    Why is the black iPhone more durable than the white? I never understood that...

    Not sure what causes it, but here are your choices:
    1) bring it to a 3rd party repair shop and see what they say
    2) pay $149 for another replacement
    3) do nothing
    4) buy a new phone (iPhone or otherwise)
    Up to you.

  • Why does the calender do not show the right time if you want to choose 10, 11, 12 o'clock or any other time with 1x:00?

    Why does the calender do not show the right time if you want to choose 10, 11, 12 o'clock or any other time with 1x:00? It only shows 1:00 and there is no way to change the time to 1x:00.

    Ok well you need to get your facts straight. You say the reason to upgrade to OS 4 but half of these have to do with the new iPhone 4 and not the OS. Two totally different issues
